Disney+ successfully made its presence among Korean drama fans with Snowdrop last year. Even with various issues and controversies surrounding its historical distortion, Snowdrop managed to captivate the viewers with Jung Hae In and BLACKPINK Jisoo as its main cast, giving Disney+ a steady and powerful root in the community.

This year, the platform welcomed 2023 with its first Korean drama Connect. Although the response may not be as massive as Snowdrop’s, fans truly enjoyed watching Jung Hae In, Go Kyung Pyo, and Kim Hye Jung’s performances in the psycho-thriller drama.

Today, Disney+ returns with a whole new different genre for its new Korean drama project, Call It Love. Set in a romance melodrama genre with revenge as its central issue, Call It Love depicts a story of a woman going against her real personality to take revenge on the person who made her life miserable.
